Blaze the Husky says "no" to kennel time

This adorable 11-month-old Husky named Blaze really, really doesn't want to go to his kennel at the moment. Watch his hilarious refusal.

In an article dated Jan. 15, 2013, The Mirror's Rebecca Pocklington reports on Blaze, a Siberian Husky who hilariously tells his owner "No" when asked to go to his kennel. Blaze's owner John Ventresco explains in the comments section of his YouTube post that Blaze actually likes his kennel but wasn't ready to go at the time he was asked.

In a matter of two days, the video's number of views jumped from 50,000 to 300,000 to almost 2,000,000. Clearly, the world is as amused by Blaze as his owner and the cameraman were during the video recording. Whether or not he is a fan of his kennel, Blaze the talking dog provides a hysterical commentary on what other dogs might say if only they could.

And just in case a verbal "no" doesn't keep him out of the kennel, Blaze has another trick up his paw. He turns himself into a heavy lump of puppy cuteness, making himself virtually unmovable. By that point, Blaze's owner is laughing so hard he probably couldn't have picked him up if he'd tried.

Not convinced Blaze can talk? Watch the video and then decide. You may be surprised. At the very least, you'll likely be laughing out loud.
